A Mobile Service Now Reads Your Face and Predict the Future

Seoul, Korea (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- Zenitum Entertainment Computing, a Seoul based local startup company, announced its new mobile entertainment service called Mobile Face Reading.

Based on the traditional face reading rule, the service can read fortune out of a face in a photo taken by camera phones. The user needs to take a picture with her camera phone and upload it to the service via MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). Once the photo is uploaded, the user can log in to the service through WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). The service system automatically detects the face and facial features (eyes, lips, nose, chin and others) in the photo. Then the relative size and position of facial features are calculated. This geometric information is fed to the fortune reading to get the final reading results.

From the service, users can get a Whole Year Fortune, Romantic Relationship, Women-Only Fortune, General Everyday Fortune, and Erotic Forecasts. Especially, with one more photo of your lover, the service let you know whether you are made for each other.

Mobile Face Reading is now serviced on SK Telecom, the nations largest mobile Telco, and soon the system will be ported to other operators. The company already signed service contract with mobile service providers in China, Malaysia, and Taiwan.
